About Madeira Remote - Casa do Pico

Casa do Pico is the original coliving space by Madeira Remote, designed for digital nomads and remote workers in Funchal, Madeira. Located in the city center, it offers affordable comfort meets community living — with private rooms, shared kitchens, a courtyard with jacuzzi, and a rooftop terrace. All rates include coworking access at Madeira Friends Hub and community events.

Origin story

Madeira Remote grew out of Madeira Friends, a community organisation that welcomed thousands of remote workers, hosted over 800 events, and built one of the world's most vibrant international communities.

Building on that experience, the founders brought it all into a unique, supportive, and community-first coliving experience. Their goal: to combine comfortable living spaces with meaningful community — the true spirit of Madeira coliving. Casa do Pico is their original property, the first expression of that vision in Funchal's city center.

Community philosophy

Madeira Remote is built on the belief that coliving is about respect, balance, and community. The foundation is Madeira Friends' legacy of 800+ events and thousands of connections, and that spirit carries directly into the coliving experience.

Residents are expected to be inclusive, considerate, and open — treating the space as a community built on mutual trust. The offering goes beyond accommodation: full access to Madeira Friends events, weekly island trips, skill-sharing workshops, local giving-back opportunities, and a community manager providing onsite support all contribute to meaningful connections. The aim is to contribute to sustainable tourism on the island while creating a space that is welcoming, productive, and enjoyable for everyone.
